Powered by a confidently crafted Japanese VD 53B Quartz Chronograph movement, Tritnite accented case coordinating hour and minute hands indicate the time.
Offering five distinct looks, your Grand Lupah timepiece includes five interchangeable leather straps, with one of each in the following colors: black, blue, orange, olive green and light yellow. Each strap narrows slightly from 26mm wide to 24mm wide, secures with an Invicta logo etched case coordinating buckle clasp, the strap fits up to approximately an 8-3/4" wrist.

ATM: Measures water resistance; Stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking; One atmosphere is equal to 10 meters of water pressure.
Bezel: Retaining ring topping the case and securing the crystal; Sometimes incorporates unidirectional or ratcheting movements, engraved or printed chapter markers, or complications such as a tachymeter.
Chronograph: Functioning similarly to a stopwatch, a chronograph is a unique and valued complication due to its ability to measure increments of elapsed time while the watch still maintains traditional timekeeping abilities. The crown controls the analog watch while function pushers allow you to start, stop and reset the chronograph subdials.
Chronometer: High-precision timepiece that has been tested and is certified to meet precision standards; Chronometer watches often come with certificates indicating their certified status.
Complication: Any feature added to the timepiece that does not indicate hours, minutes or seconds.
COSC Certified Chronometer: Refers to timepieces that have been christened with the title of chronometer. To become a chronometer, timepieces have to pass a test conducted by the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometers (COSC), roughly translating to Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute. COSC is a prestigious Swiss government agency that certifies the accuracy and precision of timepieces in Switzerland.
Crown: Part that allows you to manipulate the watch movement for a variety of purposes such as setting the hands, changing the date, winding the mainspring, etc.
Crystal: Transparent cover on a watch face that gives view of the dial.
Deployant: Type of clasp that keeps the closing mechanism hidden, creating an uninterrupted look for your bracelet or strap.
Dual Time Zone: Timepiece that simultaneously gives time in two time zones. GMT function serves the same purpose and is used interchangeably, as it can be set to any time zone you wish.
Exhibition Case or Back: Unique complication wherein a crystal window is implemented into the back of a watch case, allowing view of the timepiece's movement.
Function Pushers: Manual controls on a case for when a movement features complications that require increased manipulation.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): Also referred to as Greenwich Meridian Time, the Greenwich Meridian Line is located at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. It is the place from where all time zones are measured. Greenwich Mean Time is the average time that Earth takes to rotate from noon to noon. In this regard, GMT is thought of as "the world's time" and was once the basis with which every other zone set time.
Guilloche: Style of engraving that features wavy or straight lines, giving a unique effect when the timepiece is moved or shifted.
Ionic Plating: Process that produces a hardened surface that is durable and scratch-resistant; Has a black flat "stealth" finish.
Jewels: Within a movement, metal on metal contact creates wear and tear. Watchmakers use jewel bearings to reduce friction and help the delicate parts of the movement work smoothly and with great precision. Jewels help extend the movement's life. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies and garnets are the preferred materials. As a general rule, a higher number of jewels suggests a more prestigious movement.
Lugs: North and south ends of the case that attach to the strap or bracelet and often extend out from the dominant lines of the case.
Moon Phase: The lunar cycle has been a cornerstone of horology, the study of measuring time, since ancient days. Moon Phase is a complication on a timepiece that displays the various stages of the moon cycles from waxing to waning. It appears as a dial visible through an aperture which reveals the current moon phase.
Movement: Assembly making up the principal elements and mechanisms of a watch or clock; Includes the winding and setting mechanism, the mainspring, the train, the escapement and the regulating elements.
Power Reserve: Time a watch will continue running based on the movement's residual winding of its mainspring; In quartz and digital watches, this can also refer to the amount of energy left in the battery.
Push Button Dual Deployant: Similar to deployant and considered one of the most desirable and easy-to-use clasps, the push button dual deployant employs two small hidden push buttons that release the bracelet. This clasp keeps the closing mechanism hidden for an uninterrupted, seamless finish.
Repeater: Complex watch mechanism that sounds hours, quarters or minutes, or repeats them on request; Originally designed to help the wearer to tell the time in the dark.
Retrograde: Hour, minute, second or calendar hand that moves across a scale and resets to zero at the end of its cycle.
Skeletonization: Reveals the intricate symphony of moving rotors, gears and springs which power a timepiece; The open design offers an insider's view, as unnecessary metal is cut away to allow the wearer to actually see the movement's skeleton.
Swiss Made: Since the 16th century, Switzerland has been the epicenter of watch making, producing some of the industry's greatest technological advances. The Swiss put a law into effect for all timepieces baring the words "Swiss Made": First, the movement must be assembled in Switzerland. Secondly, the movement must be cased up in Switzerland. Finally, the manufacturer must carry out the timepiece's final inspection in Switzerland.
Tachymeter: Scale on a watch used to determine units per hour, such as average speed over a fixed distance, or distance based on speed; Typically located along the outer rim of a dial.
Tritium: Miniature tubes containing gaseous Tritium and layered with phosphor to power the luminous accents which can be seen for several meters in darkness. Tritium illumination requires no electrical power but must be "charged" by holding your watch close to any light source. The longer you hold it there, the longer and brighter you'll see the Tritnite.
Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: Used for tracking elapsed time. A ratchet mechanism prevents the bezel from rotating backwards. This feature is popular with divers, who rely on the elapsed time feature to prevent the diver from running out of air. The fact that the bezel cannot rotate backwards prevents the wearer from underestimating the elapsed time.About Leather:
Commonly acquired from cattle, leather is animal skin that is typically a byproduct of the nation's meat industry. Animals such as bison, deer, elk, moose, pigs, goats, rabbits, sheep and caribou can also be used. Once the skin is removed from the animal, it is quickly preserved in salt. It is then cleaned, put into a chilling machine to lower the hide's temperature, and tanned to prevent deterioration. Upon completion of this process, the leather is ready to be made into retail items. Leather goods are strong, flexible, supple and long lasting.
Invicta's Lupah Tradition
Iconic with its notoriety and brazen with attitude, the Invicta Lupah collection continues to be a powerful force driving Invicta into the worldwide spotlight of timepiece making. True to the Lupah name, which means "to magnify", the timepiece features the signature domed crystal which magnifies the dial's details.
Cases exist in a variety of shapes and sizes and utilize a library of materials for construction such as stainless steel, gold, ceramic, titanium, plastic, and more. The dominance of stainless steel in case construction remains, however, hypo-allergenic metals and materials, like titanium, continue to gain in popularity. Metal cases often have particular finishes - such as a smooth reflective polish or circular matte brush - that enhance the presentation of the timepiece and give it unique depth.
Some designs allow for the case and lugs to be curved in order for the watch to have a more comfortable fit around the wrist. The back of a case will typically be removable and most likely be screw down or pop-off. It is important to note, however, it should only be opened by a trained professional. An exhibition feature (found within a case's back) refers to an added window that allows you to view the movement and is often found on automatic and mechanical timepieces.
Case Size:
Case measurements do not include crown or lugs.

Schlecker Family Out of Revamp Money, FT Deutschland Says
The Schlecker family has no more money to contribute to a rescue effort for its namesake drugstore chain, Financial Times Deutschland said, citing Meike Schlecker, daughter of the owner Anton Schlecker.
While several hundred of the 6,000 German stores will be closed, a "three-digit-million-euro" sum is need to modernize the remaining shops, the German newspaper cited Arndt Geiwitz, the chain's insolvency administrator, as saying.
Family members including Meike's brother Lars and her mother Christa already spent a three-digit-million-euro amount to finance a restructuring and now there is nothing left, Meike Schlecker said, according to Financial Times Deutschland.

Player Updates
Mitch Moreland (Tex-IF)
Mitch Moreland went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in the Rangers 3-2 win over the Royals on Thursday.
Yordano Ventura allowed just four hits over eight innings on Thursday night which is great but when three of those hits were solo home runs, that's not so great. Moreland took him deep for the first time in the fifth inning followed by another one in the eighth which put the Rangers in the lead for good. -- Fantasy Alarm
Rougned Odor (Tex-IF)
Rougned Odor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Rangers 3-2 win over the Royals on Thursday.
In the second inning, Ventura allowed Rougned Odor to take him deep for the first of three solo home runs on the evening. The bomb was Odor's 19th of the season and has already passed his single-season high for homers (16). The little man has 52 RBI, 62 runs scored and 10 stolen bases to match with his .277/.297/.487 batting line. -- Fantasy Alarm
Paulo Orlando (KC-OF)
Paulo Orlando went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base and one walk in the Royals 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Thursday.
You don't really expect Paulo Orlando to turn around a Cole Hamels fastball for a home run but that's exactly what happened on Thursday night. Orlando parked a no-doubter in the second inning for his second of the season and ninth of his career. -- Fantasy Alarm
Sam Dyson (Mia-P)
Sam Dyson pitched a scoreless ninth inning in which he walked one batter in the Rangers 3-2 win over the Royals on Thursday.
You usually don't like to see your closer walk the lead-off man in the top of the ninth in a one run game but it did not cost Dyson on Thursday night. He induced three straight groundouts to end the game and earn his 21st save of the season on 23 attempts. -- Fantasy Alarm

Katie Bathke's Reviews > The Little Match Girl
The Little Match Girl
by Hans Christian Andersen, Rachel Isadora
by Hans Christian Andersen, Rachel Isadora
Katie Bathke's review
Oct 15, 2009
The picture on the front and back cover of the book has a border around it. Just like all of the pages in the book have a border around them. I think maybe the illustrator did these to have consistency with each page. The rest of the pages have words on one page and a picture on the other. It has sort of a rhymn to it. It would be very easy book to read because you would know right where the words were on each page. I think the illustrated did a great job with the colors in the book. She's using all the colors that symbolize Christmas time. She uses snow in each picture so you get the idea of how cold it is outside for the homeless little girl.

Wind Energy Reaches Record Production
CREDIT: (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
Despite a recent slowdown in wind energy production in the United States, the industry is still growing as there are enough projects to generate energy for a record 19 million homes, according to data released Monday by the American Wind Energy Association.
The latest record of 70 gigawatts of wind energy generation through 50,000 turbines was achieved in November, but documented this week, according AWEA, the national trade association for the U.S. wind industry. This announcement suggests a turning point for an industry that had been struggling.
While it achieved 50 and then reached 60 gigawatts energy generation in 2012, the industry stalled as uncertainty over whether tax credits would expire in 2012, as they did, dissuaded investors.
In 2013, Congress gave tax credits a one year extension giving some oxygen to the industry that however suffered a 92 percent drop of installations that year. After some setbacks last year, the industry still showed signs of improvement, according to a recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as it reported in August that $8.3 billion were invested in new capacity additions.
"There's now enough wind power installed to meet the equivalent of total electricity demand in Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming," said Tom Kiernan, chief executive officer of the American Wind Energy Association, in a statement.
Still, wind energy currently meets less than 5 percent of the nation's electricity demand, although wind energy prices have reached all-time lows. According to the Berkeley Lab study, wind turbine prices have fallen as much as 40 percent from their highs back in 2008. Wind turbine projects continue to be capital intensive projects however, which explains why the industry has for years pushed for tax incentives.
For instance, a 112 turbine project in Imperial Valley, California, cost around $600 million about three years ago.
But while the industry has been facing harmful uncertainty over tax credits, earlier this month it achieved a victory that could give it a boost in the coming years. Last week, Congress approved multiyear tax credits for renewable energy that may create the stability that wind energy wants.
Whether credits translate into more wind energy generation remains to be seen, as design and approval of wind turbine projects can be a lengthy process that studies say stir protests over alleged health and environmental concerns.
Such contention may in part explain why the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a December report that utility-scale solar capacity is expected to grow much more than wind energy. Solar is expected to show an increase of 123 percent between the end of 2014 and the end of 2016. Wind energy, meanwhile, grew by 8 percent in 2014, and it is forecast to increase by 13 percent this year, and by 14 percent in 2016.

I want to add responsive images to my site, in particular the blog posts.
I want the theme to use a fluid width for the post content column.
In the posts, I want the images to fill the whole width of the column, whether that be 800px or 300px.
What is the best way to do this?
Would I responsive theme solve my problem?
I've not chosen a theme yet.

Hole velocity and mobility are extracted from quantum-well (QW) biaxially strained Si0.5Ge0.5 channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) on silicon-on-insulator wafers. Devices have been fabricated at sub-100-nm gate length with HfO2/TiN gate stacks. A significant hole mobility enhancement over the strained Si mobility curve is observed for QW MOSFETs. We also discuss the relationship between velocity and mobility of the strained SiGe channels with high Ge content for 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 crystal directions. Whereas the mobility increases by 18% for 〈100〉 with respect to 〈110〉, it translates into a modest 8% velocity increase.

Diet Dos, Don'ts to Cut Diabetes Risk
Increased Risk With Sugary Drinks? continued...
The researchers, who included Julie Palmer, ScD, of Boston University, note that sweetened fruit drinks "are often marketed as a healthier alternative to soft drinks" but may have at least as many calories as a regular soda.
Diet sodas, orange juice, and grapefruit juice weren't linked to increased risk of diabetes. It's possible that the natural sugars contained in orange and grapefruit juice may have different metabolic effects than the high-fructose corn syrup that is added to regular sodas and most sweetened beverages.
Beverage Industry Reaction
WebMD contacted the American Beverage Association, the trade group representing companies that make and distribute nonalcoholic beverages in the U.S, for its response to the study.
"We agree that type 2 diabetes is an important public health problem, particularly among African- American women, but it is important to recognize that beverage consumption is not an identified risk factor for the disease," says Maureen Storey, PhD, the American Beverage Association's senior vice president for science policy.
Storey points out that the study recommends that women trying to lose weight may find it easier to do so if they switch from regular sodas to diet sodas. She also notes that the study's link between fruit-drink consumption and type 2 diabetes "is very weak or nonexistent. Therefore, avoiding these drinks may have no effect on diabetes risk."
Lastly, Storey says it's not clear whether the researchers controlled for total energy intake -- the total number of calories the women consumed from all sources. An imbalance between energy intake (calories consumed) and energy output (calories burned) can lead to weight gain over time, "and that, aside from family history, is the most important factor in development of type 2 diabetes," says Storey.
Fruits and Vegetables May Cut Diabetes Risk
Eating more fruits and vegetables may cut diabetes risk, according to another study in the journal.
The study included nearly 22,000 adults in Norfolk, England. When the study started, they got a checkup, provided blood samples, and completed a diet and lifestyle survey.
Over the next 12 years, 735 of the participants developed diabetes.

National Briefing | Northwest: Idaho: No Word On Trial In Ruby Ridge
Published: June 7, 2001
A county prosecutor refused to say whether he would try an F.B.I. sharpshooter for manslaughter in the slaying of a white separatist's wife in the 1992 standoff at Ruby Ridge. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court cleared the way for Idaho prosecutors to pursue charges against the marksman, Lon T. Horiuchi. But the Boundary County prosecutor, Brett Benson, said a court order prevented him from saying whether he intended to continue the case. Mr. Benson took office this year, succeeding Denise Woodbury, who had pursued charges against Mr. Horiuchi despite defeats in lower courts.

Pretty necklace, made a nice gift for my teenage step daughter, thank you John
13 Years and Counting...
'Hello' from the UK, and thanks for visiting!
My aim for 'The Wellington Boot' is to use an interesting variety of materials to create quality fashion pieces that can be worn every day, as well as fun & colourful statement items.
My interest in jewellery started in my later secondary-school years, when rules were relaxed and I decided to push the boat out and wear the weirdest and most fun earrings I could find, including colourful parrots, plastic ice lollies and little slices of cake.
But, since the high street didn't offer much jewellery that satisfied my 'niche' taste, I decided to make my own instead. So ever since I was 15 years old, I have made jewellery; starting with gifting finished pieces to friends, then selling them on my own website and lastly selling them here on Etsy from 2010.
As time has gone on I have partly grown out of my love of super-quirky jewellery and have progressed to adding more pearls, sterling silver and high quality beads to my creations. I still have a soft spot for novelty charms though!
I've always had a big interest in making things, and more specifically a big interest in crafts. At university I learned how to make dentures, crowns and orthodontic appliances, and funnily enough I use the same tools for making jewellery as I did for making dental products - so there is actually some crossover!
Carving out a creative career is something I am working on every day, and I can't see me stopping making jewellery any time soon…after all, I've lasted 13 years already :)

Customer service is a priority here at The Wellington Boot, so please don't hesitate to get in touch with queries, suggestions and feedback.
If you would like to buy a necklace from our shop but the chain length provided would be too long or short, you can request a FREE alteration to any length between 14" and 22" by leaving a message during Paypal payment. Please note that occasionally a necklace length cannot be changed, and only gunmetal and antique brass chains can be altered for free (i.e. not silver).
Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy gift cards
If you don't have a Paypal account, never fear! Just click the Paypal button when you go through the checkout and look for the link to pay with your credit card. If you get stuck, go here for help:
All sales from my shop are subject to UK legislation.
Postage & packing (shipping) fees are a flat £3.30 fee for UK orders, £3.50 for countries within the EU, and £4 per order for customers from any other country.
Please be aware that if you place an order from outside the UK, the delivery may be subject to import duties resulting from customs inspections when entering your country or state. Please check the rules on importing into your country or state to see if you will be charged. The Wellington Boot cannot be held responsible for these charges.
Usually, the rules simply state a price limit on international purchases, so if you spend below the specified amount, custom fees will not be charged.
Please make sure that the delivery address you enter whilst paying with Paypal is correct - as the address in your Paypal account is the one I will use. The Wellington Boot cannot be held responsible for the loss of an order as a result of delivering to an incorrect address.
International orders under $60 will be sent via the regular airmail service. High value orders will be insured. Please note it can take anywhere from a few days to few weeks to deliver to an address outside the UK, depending on your location.
Orders will be posted to you within 3 working days of receiving your payment.
Please contact us if you have not received your goods after 2 weeks (for UK orders), or after 4 weeks (for international orders).
Refunds and Exchanges
We do not refund the original or the return shipping costs unless the reason for the return is due to a mistake on our part i.e. we sent the wrong item, the item was damaged in transit, or the item does not match the description. If you would like to return an item, it would be best to contact us first to see if there is another way to resolve the issue.
You must retain the proof of posting certificate for any returned item.
For hygiene reasons, earrings are non-returnable unless faulty or damaged in transit. All goods must be returned unworn and in the original packaging.
Additional policies and FAQs
Just a note on necklace fastenings: Antique brass chains and gunmetal chains all have a lobster clasp fastening as standard (even if it's not mentioned in the description). Some of the gunmetal chain necklaces may have an extender chain attached too (which will be mentioned in the description). Sterling silver chain necklaces will have a handmade sterling silver hook-and-eye clasp, a sterling silver lobster clasp or a sterling silver bolt ring for the fastening (the specific necklace description will state which one will be supplied).
We have made every effort to display and describe all of our jewellery accurately. The colour of some items may vary slightly from the photographs due to lighting conditions and angles, and also the patterns on some natural materials such as mother of pearl, abalone, shell and gemstones may vary slightly between individual pieces.
All findings comply with the EEC Low Nickel Regulations.
Please be aware that jewellery contains small parts - so please keep your jewellery out of reach of young children.
I do not include any receipts or invoices.
Although I am not closed to custom requests, please expect a polite decline from me due to time or material restrictions.
But I will consider any request individually :-)
Thank-you for visiting!

Power back on for most after stormThe Associated Press | June 24,2013RUTLAND - An intense thunder storm and high winds have swept through central Vermont, knocking out power to thousands of homes and businesses, mostly in the Rutland area.
The National Weather Service says the fierce storms began around 5:30 p.m. Sunday and quickly caused outages.
Green Mountain Power reported 10,000 customers without power. By this morning, that number was down to about 300.
Company spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said in a statement this morning that the storm brought down many power lines and trees. She said since much of the damage was concentrated in Rutland, crews were able to come together in one area and restore power quickly.
Weather reports indicate the potential for more storms this week.MORE IN This Just In

I am very new to Quickbooks and anything to do with computers and Catherine was very patient during our lessons as I one finger typed everything. I have taken a Quickbooks class by Intuit and this one to one session was by far more helpful. I have since our session navigated around my Quickbooks with much more confidence, I was anxious and overwhelmed before the lessons and now feel so much relief,and empowered that I know what I need to do. I will for sure use her again as questions arise.
Approved subjects are in bold.

For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

A Cowboy's Work is Never Done: George Martin
The cowboy of Western mythology rode the range during the heyday of the long cattle drives in the l860s and 1870s. Despite the individualism emphasized in myth, most cowhands were employees of Eastern and European capitalists who raised cattle as a corporate enterprise to serve a growing appetite for beef in the U.S. Cowboys were overworked hired hands who rode in freezing wind and rain or roasted in the Texas sun; searched for lost cattle; mended fences; ate monotonous and bad food; and suffere

Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Sadly, I've put on some weight which I am now trying to get off. So about 99.95% of my bras don't fit me anymore around the back strap area. Now I doubt that my actual boobs have gotten much bigger, well big enough to need new bras just for themselves. But all my bras have been feeling super tight and even more uncomfortable on me and I'm currently latching them on the last and loosest hook to no avail. I was wearing between a 34B (which were starting to get small before even the big weight gain) and 36B. I've gone to some discount department stores and tried looking for the next size up which I'm pretty sure logically would be a 38B right? Well I had no luck. I don't like spending a pretty penny on things like bras and undies.
I went to VS yesterday cause I had a ton of coupons for things (I will never shop at VS unless there is a special going on or I've got a coupon, too expensive at regular price!). They had a special offer going on where you could try out the new Heidi Klum bra in the dressing room and you don't need to buy it or anything but they'll take $5 off your purchase that day. Sounded good to me. I decided it would of been a great opportunity to figure out with the help of the SA there what size I actually am right now. We tried several different sizes and settled on that a 36C is the most comfortable so far. The back strap wasn't too too tight on me, much better than the bras I was trying to fit into and there was no "gap" or "bubble" in the cup of the bra. I bought the bra in pink but went home to realize that I don't like how the bra itself is but I liked the sizing and fit.
Now I have a ton of coupons for discounts mainly on bras and was wondering if there really is a difference with VS bras and department store brands? I use to scoff at the idea of spending that much money on a freakin bra. But I'm tired of trying to find bras that actually fit me and feel okay. The SA had told me that the bra sizes with the different styles are very consistent so it'll be much easier for me to pick out bras from there. I'm on there site and I'm looking for the cheapest priced bras they have and how much they'd be after discounts from coupons and offers. I only want to get like 3 at the most to rotate throughout the week.

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Honestly, I don't think they're worth it. The hooks snap off or the underwire pokes through and they just don't last long. If you're plannin on losing the weight very soon, I would only buy a few because soon they won't fit you. Places like winner's and other stores like that have quality bras for $15 and less.NC15, light brown hair, blue eyes

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Honestly I think Victoria's Secret has really cute stuff, especially for "sexy lingerie", and they're more reasonably priced then a lot of the other brands, but I think their fit kind of sucks. I'm a 34B and I always feel like my strapless bras just don't support, like at all, and make my boobs look lower on my body.. and i'm only 18! I have a couple bras from there that I like, but I managed to score a Cosabella bra at Nordstrom Rack and it fits SO much better. No gaping in the cups, full support.. comfy too. So if you have a Nordstrom Rack near you they always have tons of really expensive brands (Cosabella, Hanky Panky, Bestey Johnson, etc) for under $30 (I got my Cosabella for 18.99 orig. 90.00)
Otherwise, I think department stores have legitimately good bras.. Victoria's secret is really a hit or a miss for me..If you find a bra that's perfect for you, it's worth it to invest in it. The Macy's by me always has a good selection of bras and they always have sales on the weekends too. good luck!Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Thanks for the honesty!
I've just been getting tired of wearing the same 2 bras (that's all I have that fit me kind of right now but both are getting uncomfortable and too tight) all the time.
Yeah, I don't plan on going MAD bra shopping, I can't afford it. 3 is enough and anymore than that is pushing it.
The biggest problem right now is size consistency with companies their different style bras and even finding one that actually even fits me properly. I had problems with this even way before the weight gain. Bras were just never comfortable.
Do you happen to know if there are any brands out (cheaper of course) there with sizes comparable to VS's? The 36C was just such a great fit.
March 18th, 2009, 01:28 AM #5
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Ugh, I wish I lived closer to the Nordstroms that we have here, we only have 1 so far that just opened up back in October.
I agree that VS is kind of just for the novelty really or trying to dress up for a night and be sexy. That's how I use to always think of their products, and I still to a point do. But I'm hooked on their undies though but I have enough and don't need to buy anymore from them cause of a special and coupon. Their undies truly fit me well especially the ones with the thick lace bands they give me more room and don't push into my sides, if that makes any sense? But yeah other than that I'm still not totally convinced about their bras even though I liked the 36C fit.
Right now I have 4 of their Secrets Rewards Cards that are each worth up to $10, I might use one towards a bra to just try if I find one that fits me well.
In a perfect world I could just grab any 36C bra or whatever sized bra I'm suppose to wear and get going!

i like VS. I'm on the bigger breasted side, and i find them the most comfortable. Ive had a couple of their bras for about 2 years and they're still in good shape. they're comfoortable and dont show through any clothes in a weird way.
Try Arie by American Eagle. I dont fit well into them, but i have a friend (i think 36 C) that LOVES them. They have promos going on a lot.

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Most of my bras are from victoria's secret and I love the fit and the air bras (I'm an A cup)! I've also had them forever... as long as you either hand wash them (they say hand wash on the lable. machine washing esp. drying will ruin ANY bra) or use a delicates bag they should last a long time. However, if you are planning on loosing weight, just go get a couple from target! lol... they aren't bad... just not as cute but whatever. You can get them for 5 or 10 dollars.
March 18th, 2009, 02:24 AM #9
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Being that I'm a big-breasted girl, I think its definitely important to invest in quality bras that actually support you and are comfortable. The most important thing is get measured to find your correct bra size. I'd suggest going JcPenney's lingerie department...the associates will take youre measurements and help to fit you for the correct size bra and are extremely helpful!"Life is an occasion, rise to it." ~ Mr. Magorium, from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
March 18th, 2009, 03:23 AM #10
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
In short, no.
In my opinion, the sizes aren't even correct. VS is more of a glamour brand, and while they do a lot of cute bras, the quality has declined over the years. If you're a small to medium sized girl with a C cup and under, with little need for support, then VS bras are fine. Anything better than that, Only go to VS for something cute. For anything else, I say go for it, but for durable bras, get fitted at Nordies, Dillards, or a department store that carries prestige branded lingerie, buy a couple bras there, and keep the standards of those bras in mind when you go shopping for bras elsewhere. I find good bras at Target actually, but I don't hold them to the same standards that I'd hold a bra that retails for the standard range at VS.

I think La Senza is very similar to VS, if not even the same thing, only Canadian. I've only been buying La Senza for the past couple of years but I'm seriously thinking of moving on to something high end. It's time to give my boobs a treat!

Im unfortunate.. theres no VS where i live
Ugh.. I feel you on the weight gain ((hello 30 pound weight gain in 6 months and counting )) But being pregnant i went from a 32B to a 36D, they are heavy as hell!!! and i think my husband is afraid of them LOL.
From the sound of it, it seems VS is only good for looks?
March 18th, 2009, 08:20 AM #14
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
I am not a fan of VS at all. As someone else mentioned, I always have an issue with the underwires poking through the fabric usually within a few wearings/washings, plus they get ratty looking pretty quickly IMHO.
I would have never tried them, but a friend swore that Lane Bryant had the most comfortable bras, so I decided to give them a shot. I now almost exclusively buy their "balconette" style (unless I need something different for a specific top/dress.) I can't guarantee that every store will have the best variety of sizes, but they go down to 36C and up to 44DDD.
They often have sales on their bras; I stock up during the Buy 2, Get 2 Free sales which brings the price down to about $16 per bra. Plus if you sign up for their e-mail or mailing, you'll get $25 off coupons almost monthly. So, I love when I can couple that with bra sales.
Anyway, I have NEVER had one of the underwires poke out from these bras, and I've been wearing them for years now and even my older ones look fairly new. Also, the straps are wider, making them much more comfortable.
I put on one of my VS bras after wearing these for a while, and took it right off, I can't believe I ever thought they were good bras.
As an aside, I wear a 36 or 38D, depending. I think maybe VS bras work best for someone who needs a small size or whose primary concern is fashion, but not for real support or comfort. Of course, that's just my opinion.

March 18th, 2009, 09:37 PM #15
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Thanks for all the input ladies! I just wanted and answer to the age old (well I've been wondering about it for the longest time now) if the VS bras are really all that?
I actually went to VS today and got a bra in the 36C that I was sized up in last time. It was one of the PINK line bras and it's super cute! The price was suppose to be $32.50 but there were a ton of misprints and a few of the other bras that were the same style and color had the price listed as $28.50. I was confused and asked a SA about it and she said that the actual price is $32.50 and she wasn't sure why it's all screwed up but would honor the the lower price for me. I used my $10 off plus free panty coupon and knocked the price down to $18.50 - totally not bad. But the bra is still too small, damn back fat!
I'm not sure what I'll do. I guess bring the bra back tomorrow after work, they were very understanding when I told them my bra problem. And if I can't find a good fit, I'll just exchange it for a PINK shirt (which are awesome IMO) or something and hold off on buying bras period. At least til I lose all this flab and can fit into a 36B again. This is sooo frustrating.
There is no sense in spending money on something that isn't going to fit 3 months from now =[
I live in Pennsylvania in the States, is there a La Senza around here? I've heard of it before once on another beauty forum but other than that haven't seen anything with their name or heard anything else about them before.
There is a Lane Bryant at the mall that I live by and I seen a ton of sale signs up. They might be closing...? Idk??? Either way I'll stop in if I have time tomorrow after work (I'm working 11-7 and the mall closes at 9, I have to walk everywhere too) and ask about their bras.

I'm glad they work for you. And I can't speak to the quality of the Sexy Little Things line specifically because they are mostly only available in B & C cups.
I don't handwash but I gentle wash in cold with a lingerie bag and for me, VS bras are the only bras I've ever had a problem with and I wash all my bras the same way. I've even had "cheap" bras last longer than my VS bras. In reality, I don't handwash or dryclean anything; cold on gentle cycle, and I've never had a problem with anything else. So for me, even if VS bras didn't poke out with handwashing; for the price, I can't be bothered personally.
One other thing I learned since switching to LB: they have the BEST strapless (it's actually convertible) bra I've ever worn. Even at a D cup, I never ever feel like it's going anyway, and it's uplifting/good support.
March 21st, 2009, 01:15 AM #18
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
I wanted to echo COBI's sentiemnts on LB bras... I thin about half of my most frequently worn bras are Cacique. I also get mine during their lingerie clearances.... I especially love their racerback bras. I have a couple of them that I've worn so much that the finish of the hardware has worn off, but the bra itself is good as new. If you are a fuller cupped girl, DEF go to LB.
March 21st, 2009, 02:26 PM #19
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
I use to always machine wash my bras. But I guess I'll be hand washing any ones I wear in the future.
I haven't gotten a chance to go to LB yet cause by the time I was almost done running around to go to the stores I really needed to go there the mall was just a few minutes from closing. Meh, stupid closing hours, they changed them the beginning this month. Do they have sizes in B or C cups?
March 21st, 2009, 06:41 PM #20
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
They don't have B cups that I've ever seen in the store or online.
They have C, but in the stores, you'll have to look for them as they are in the minority since LB caters typically to full-figured women. Online, they have more availbility in C cups.
March 23rd, 2009, 06:16 PM #21
Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
VS bras, well the one I own are really scratchy, and not comfortable at all.
If you think you're going to be putting off that weight soon, I'd recommend a bra extension strap. It's a lot cheaper than buying a several new bras, wearing them a couple of times and throwing them away.

i have a few victorias secret bras and theyre not all that great. they seemed to warp out of shape. i prefer my la senza bras. maybe theyre the same thing but a different name like someone has said, but i feel like my la senza bras are much higher quality and fit better.

I find them worth it,really.I've got some rather large mounds of flesh,and they fit and feel fine.

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
i like them.
i have several ipex bras and i love them. ive had them all for like more than a year and they're all in great shape still. i think the body by victoria bras have great support and are well-constructed.
i get one of those $10 off cards in the mail every month, so i just use one of those when i want to buy a bra.

the answer is: only when they're on clearance/sale on the website or during their semi annual sale. i wouldn't even think twice about buying a bra full price at VS. it's a rip-off.

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
They're not really all that great, I found myself still looking at other brands while I worked there. Not only were other brands cheaper, but I just got a better product that fit. And I'm an average size so you would think that they would have a lot that would fit me just fine, but they had next to nothing.I started a blog. Check it out and send me suggestions. http://blazeno8.blogspot.com/
After:"now that's more like it".

Jezebel is cute and also works reasonably well! you can find them at macys, some of their designs are similar to vs's (i bought one of the sexy lil things bras, only to find almost the exact same thing at macys a few months later which kinda pissed me off). they start out cheaper, and since its macys, theyre relatively easy to find on sale. good luck w trying to lose the weight btw, i totally know how you feel - damn college made me go from a 34A to 36B..... which i wouldnt mind if it wasnt for my icky back fat that came along with it =(

And whatever you do...DO NOT BUY THE 100 WAYS BRA! I only had it for a few weeks, never even got the chance to try out 100 ways let alone FIVE before the stupid clear center front BROKE and burst WHILE I was wearing it!
Biggest waste of $55 dollars EVER! Beware...~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Re: Are Victoria's Secret bras really worth it?
Their panty sizes are off by about an inch too. I'm the same size everywhere except vs. If I had an inch more of fabric they'd fit me perfect. So def go a size up if u ever buy any lingerie bottoms!
